with the Story of the Tally-Sheet Forgeries.

When there are so many persons intrusted d
with a secret in the of the tally sheet

nearly quite the entire story of the forgeries
is known in detail to at least two hundred per-
sons in the city. while more than Eve times that
number of persons fully cognizant of all the
important facts. "Great heavens, why didn't
you do 1t in town meeting!' was the exclama-
ton of an attorney who has been re-
tanned by the conspirators. the facts
and the number implicated were dis
closed to him. The facts are so we'll
known that in ordinary street-corner conversa-
ton the names of at least fifteen different per.
sons are given as connected with the forgeries.

expended in their neigh borhoods in different
parts of the State. If. this information has the
substance it appears to have. the former grand
jury may be called upon to make some explana-
tions.

About IL o'clock to-day frame
building, Nos. 1918 and 1920, on Elm
street, had the bottom knocked out Of
it and went down about three feet
from the level OF the sidewalk. The
cause OF the miniature earthquake was
as follows: There is a small branch
running under the house, and said
house is set on pillars. The late rains
increased the flow Of water, softened
the ground and the pillars gave way,
and the front part of the house came
down. John Young, colored, occupies
1918 as a dining room and lunch stand.

and convicted this morning in the

money was bet, but the city attorney
said that it was not necessary for con-

whether the game is for money or
otherwise. In the eyes OF the law
there is no distinction. Henry was

Then and Now.

In 1876, when the assessment of this

which gave him about $4,000 a year.
Out of this he paid his own clerk hire.
The assessor and collector, including
clerk hire allowed him, amounts to
$4,000. However, if any one wants to
know the value of "afly" let him ask
Gen. Cahell; that is, if he stands on
